| I feel bad rating this so low because this is a keystone: name one slowcore record slower than this (other than their debut). but that ends up being the problem---there is genius, no doubt (old star) but at least 80% of the time they sound like duster played at 0.5 speed as an attempt at "atmosphere." definitely worth a bleary-eyed jam but for this I would rather just listen to lowredit: nevermind keep it in rotation guys and it'll click please hang in there |

| Charli XCX Vroom Vroom |
| Cocteau Twins Heaven or Las Vegas |
| This album feels like cotton candy to me. Despite being achingly sweet, there doesn't seem to be much substance. It seems like the only appeal is "wow sound cool," and, admittedly, it does. |
| Converge Jane Doe |
| Cryptopsy None So Vile |
| I think I'm coming to understand this a little bit - it's death metal, and I don't have much other death metal that I've listened to to compare, just some LPs from Death. And frankly, this is a whole different ball game. This is BRUTAL death metal, not tech death or just normal death, and while the cookie monster vocals were initially a turn-off, after four or five listens they kinda fit. The intensity here is unmatched - I have yet to find an album that plays at this level of malevolence. |

| Elliott Smith Elliott Smith |
| Ethel Cain Preacher's Daughter |

| Everclear Sparkle And Fade |
| This album did not cover any new sonic ground. Released when grunge was blurring into post-grunge, characterizing this as either would be an insult. It seems to lack both the punk energy and the metal riff worship that it seemed every grunge band would have a combination of, and yet it stands as one of the best releases of the '90s, no hyperbole. It is pop rock with zest, bolstered by one of the greatest lyrical performances on an album this side of Joni Mitchell. Each song is a beautiful, achingly human snapshot, whether it's wild Esther in Heroin Girl, red-haired Virginia in Queen of the Air, or Alexakis's own point of view in Strawberry, Pale Green Stars, and Summerland. This album perfectly captures the small-town anxiety and restlessness in the pre-internet era. |

| Ghostface Killah Supreme Clientele |
| Giradioses Dormitorio |
| an entrancing blend of a handful of 90s trends: there is plenty of grey area between shoegaze, dream pop, and slowcore, a grey area it feels has been pretty extensively mined, but the downtempo characteristics added here push this album into truly innovative territory. Dormitorio moves like a slow wide river on a summer night, beautiful indigo glittering in the sun... an easy addition to the shoegaze canon |

I immediately dove into the internet to see if I was just nuts or if this was actually good. Still holds a special place in my heart. |

It's amazing how purposefully and perfectly out-of-tune the guitars are and how well the awkward time signatures fit. In all honesty, this was very abrasive on first listen. Quite the grower. |

| The contrast of this album is masterfully done. The first three tracks are blissful, and as the tracklist progresses, Robert Smith descends into anxiety and despair. The only thing keeping this from a classic is the lengthy runtime. This record is both emotionally exhausting and demanding, and if the album was a little more concise, it would be much more accessible. I'd find myself reaching for it more often. |

| Tyler, the Creator Igor |
| The greatest break-up album of the twenty-first century: soaring synths, incredible verses, and truly heartfelt songs. Tyler dreams up a jaw-dropping follow up to a career high, fully blooming post-Flower Boy. IGOR is steeped in pop sensibility, the most accessible Tyler project to date. Less rapping and more crooning, while fewer features allow Tyler to shine. |
| Unwound Repetition |
| Unwound New Plastic Ideas |
| It's hard to explain why I like this album so much, or even why I think it's Unwound's best work. When it comes down to it, I think it's my favorite because of its consistency. This album is simply put together better than any of their releases. The first four tracks are hard-hitting and frenetic, with 'Abstraktions' functioning as a median that slows the pace and lets the listener catch their breath. 'All Souls Day' is a return to the form of the first half, but 'Usual Dosage' is a step back. Then, the last two tracks are the greatest one-two punch I've ever heard. 'Arboretum' scrapes the ceiling, then hits the floor just as hard, and 'Fiction Friction' is a perfect kind of closer that not only reflects the record before it, but shows that it is more than the sum of its tracks. |

| David Bowie Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) |
| David Bowie Blackstar |
| If there was ever a single "most influential artist," my nomination would be David Bowie. While he was a musical chameleon, shifting styles throughout his discography, his music was always distinctly Bowie, and with that distinction came a set of ideas that were inexorably forward-looking, not changing music by making a new genre, but by endless innovation and experimentation. From the idiosyncracies of Ziggy Stardust, the chintzy glam of Aladdin Sane, the sprawling groove of Station to Station, the almost-but-not-quite ambient back half of Low, Bowie never stopped changing. And, though I haven't listened to every album he has put out, there is no way that any of it can top Blackstar. Bowie's work is magnificent when taken at face value, and yet Blackstar is impossible to remove from a perspective centered on retrospect. He was the truest kind of God, painfully human, and on Blackstar he comes to terms with his mortality, leaving one last release, closing his career with his best album. There's no point in removing his death from the album, because the context is just as important as the music itself. |
| De La Soul 3 Feet High And Rising |
| Simply put, this record is a whole load of fun. This was hip-hop before the Wu-Tang Clan: light-hearted, goofy, almost whimsical. Naturally, it lacks the grit that would come to be found from East Coast giants like Nas and Mobb Deep, but is still an incredibly enjoyable, sample-based record. |
| De La Soul De La Soul Is Dead |
| Deafheaven Roads To Judah |

| Deftones White Pony |
| Deftones Around the Fur |
| Deftones are relevant as a gateway drug. Any band responsible for introducing masses to both metal and shoegaze is going to be relevant, and this is the record of theirs I find myself coming back to the most. Yes, it's probably their darkest, heaviest release, but 'Be Quiet and Drive' is pretty much perfect and the energy of 'Lotion' is unmatched and 'My Own Summer,' 'Rickets,' and the title track are all intensely groovy. IMO best Deftones release. |

| Duster Duster |
| Despite the almost twenty-year gap between this and Contemporary Movement, this displays an almost linear evolution between records. The guitars lose some fuzz for some real muscle, as seen in 'I'm Lost.' The band begins to use more traditional song structure, as seen in 'Chocolate and Mint,' slow-burning its way to an incredible climax. However, the wandering tracks from Stratosphere aren't completely purged, as 'Go Back,' despite its simplicity, is one of the best on the whole album. Still a solid release, and depending on the day, is more preferable to me than CM. |

| As far as grunge goes, I feel like this was the peak of the movement. There were undeniably some great releases beforehand (see Badmotorfinger, Nevermind, Dirt, Ten and many others) and after (see Superunknown, Dragline, Jar of Flies, Gentlemen, and many others), but none of those albums were a statement as large as this. Nevermind sold millions of copies, and Nirvana reacted violently to the mainstream attention. Working with Steve Albini was a great harbinger of Nirvana's intentions, making a noisy, angry, grunge record regardless of public pressure to take things in a more pop-oriented direction. |

| Dear Billy Corgan, I wish you weren't such an egotistical prick. Fortunately, despite incredibly high band tension, you managed to deliver one of the greatest and most influential albums of the 90s, merging shoegaze, grunge, and the arena-rock spirit of Queen. Regardless of how uncool the Pumpkins were for rejecting the indie scene (and the indie scene rejecting them), this is a great record. Hummer, Cherub Rock, Mayonaise, Geek U.S.A, Today, and Silverfuck are all masterpieces in their own right, and the slow tracks like Luna and Soma soften up some of the harder edges. |

Tragically, the butt rock is mixed in with the masterpieces and as such it struggles to get off of the ground, but by the end, Failure hit their stride beautifully. The Blank--Segue 2--Dirty Blue Balloons run alone makes this worth a listen, but then the last five tracks completely take things to another level. |

| If this was even remotely cohesive, it would be incredible. Tonight, Tonight, 1979, Porcelina of the Vast Oceans, To Forgive, and Take Me Down are some of the best tracks in the entire Pumpkins' catalog, but when they're found alongside at least 10 tracks of filler mixed into the TWENTY-EIGHT song album that absolutely should have been cut. This was the beginning of the end for the Pumpkins, with Mellon Collie letting Corgan's pretentiousness leak through. |

| I love this album to pieces. For a while, this was my musical breath of fresh air, and this quirky, idiosyncratic mess was constantly in my rotation. Now, I see that it's really inconsistent. Gems are there to be found, but does it bear any emotional weight at all? No. Now it's simply nostalgic. |

| Brian Eno Ambient 1: Music For Airports |
| Considering this was effectively the first ambient album ever, I can give props. However, compared to any more recent ambient I've listened to (which, in all fairness, is not a lot) it seems pretty meh. I would just rather listen to the back half of Bowie's Low. |
| Brian Eno Apollo: Atmospheres & Soundtracks |
| Given that Eno himself said that ambient should be both ignorable and interesting, I think this errs too much on the side of interesting for ambient. Unfortunately, that makes me want to actually listen to it, not just let it play in the background, and then I remember that actually listening to ambient is pretty boring. I still enjoy this more than Airports. |

| Calm (US) Calm |
| It's like the Pumpkins but watered down. Kinda boring in all honesty, but has some moments where it shines. |
| Calm (US) Calm (7") |
| Pre-Duster material that contains songs that would be reworked early in Duster's discography. These tracks are all found in On The Dodge, albeit very differently. Sign Crushes Motorist sounds like Kyuss on this. Arlington Sunset sounds like Siamese Dream-era Smashing Pumpkins in the best possible way. |

| In terms of shoegaze, this is a nice middle ground between Ride and My Bloody Valentine. The soft vocals and fuzzy guitars are there as hallmarks of the genre, but it seems to focus more on riffs than atmosphere. Black Metallic is probably top 5 'gaze songs ever. |

| this was good and I was bumping especially with the clarinet but holy shit that last track drags so ahrd like not because of the length it just feels stale after the six minute mark, it doesn't seem like thrash works with such a long song structure |

| Man, this was disappointing. It's not that this album is bad--it's not. However, compared to his other projects, this is not even in the same realm of excellence. Roman Candle, self-titled, and Either/Or are acoustic masterpieces, and the thin, fragile vocals fit perfectly together with the spiderwebby guitar work. Here, as Smith expands his sonic palette and pop tendencies, the weight of his storytelling and the cohesion of his album structure suffer greatly. |

| An alt-rock masterpiece and Failure's best work. Fantastic Planet is more bloated, and, in turn, less consistent, although the highs are higher. Magnified is simply banger after banger, with the initial four-track stretch among the greatest alt-rock material that's out there. |

| Kendrick Lamar Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers |
| 'Mother | Sober' is one of the best tracks Kendrick has ever released. The first half did not have me confident in this record at all, 'N95' in particular. Father Time and United in Grief are great, but I finished the nine tracks disappointed. The back half, where it feels like he really opens up is where it really started to blow me away. Not quite enough to make up for the lackluster tracks, but still a great comeback from "DAMN." |

A Long Drive runs a little long, but it still stands as an immensely respectable debut. But The Moon & Antarctica is an album I am simply not growing to love. Once they're stripped of their jaded lo-fi guitar, I feel like everything falls apart. |

| The poor man's Pavement. There's not a thing here that's exceptionally bad, nor anything here that reeks of genius, yet their main shortcoming is their noise-to-pop balance. Pavement perfected it, and here they make no noticeable change, yet Slanted & Enchanted managed to epitomize '90s indie rock and this album seems to be a middling though energetic aping. Even the lyrical style is similar. Alas, Icky Mettle lacks the magic of Slanted, and while perhaps I feel this way because I listened to Slanted first, it does not erase the fact that this was released after Slanted. |

When Bauhaus are good, they're fantastic, but this album has, well, oddities that really throw me. 'Small Talk Stinks' and 'Saint Vitus Dance' are total trash. Normally I find it laughable when bands are too reverent, but I find myself wishing Bauhaus would do exactly that. |

If they had committed to the funk or the smooth, this would be fantastic, but they did neither and landed somewhere in no-man's land. |

| Almost immediately, this record introduces itself as basically just abrasive, weird, trippy sounds. That's about the whole album. At least they have a crazy story. |

| Eminem The Slim Shady LP |
| I wish people would realize that offensive music existed before Eminem. While his lyrics were undeniably some of the most provocative stuff around at the time, I don't see the artistic value in "wow controversial lyrics omfg." People talk about the effect that this album had on the music industry, lowering the bar for what could be said everywhere, but I feel like the doors that he opened might have been better left shut, not on any moral ground, but on a musical ground. Radical young minds have often been responsible for musical innovation, but Eminem was not one of them. People have been making jokes like this, goading taboos and societal norms long before they were put on an LP. This really isn't anything special... the times where Eminem could actually shine, he chooses to err on the side of shock horror rather than good storytelling. |

| man I really did not like this I put it on at work and all I got was a shitload of Japanese dialogue (that, admittedly, I can't understand, so I know i'm missing something) and vox that sound like the minions from despicable me. no hard feelings though---it was supremely entertaining |

| Moby Play |
| Went into this not sure what to expect, and came out with a bad taste in my mouth. Not only is the album incredibly long, the loops go on way too long before Moby adds layers. Finally I understand the allegation that trip-hop is elevator music, and this album seemed to fit that pretty well. It was simply did not impress me in any way, almost offensive in its mediocrity. |
| Mount Eerie A Crow Looked at Me |
| look. yes, this record has immense emotional weight. phil comes to terms with his wife's death---but it seems so incredibly repetitive, beating a dead horse for 41 minutes. "real death" acknowledges this, as the opener, yet it goes on: eleven spare, sad acoustic tracks. this isn't even close to night palace or some of his work with the microphones. |
| Mouse On The Keys Pointillism |
| Opeth Still Life |
| This is every insufferable metal stereotype rolled into one dumpster fire of a record. Normally I can at least dig metal because it has cool riffs, but this was incredibly dull. The cheesy funeral imagery is incredibly cringe. This is gross, macho, and bland. |

| Tool Ænima |
| Too many incredibly long noodly parts plus pointless intermissions that ruin the flow of the album. Title track is good, but the rest is just mediocre. 77 minutes? What a waste. At least Undertow was short. |
| Tool Undertow |
| This is pretty mediocre hard rock. The tracks all sound the same; the only standouts are Sober and Prison Sex. It can be good when the band tightens up, but this release is frankly quite bland. It's almost raw, almost catchy, and almost good. The fanbase also brings it down a bit considering the incredible meat-riding that occurs for Tool. |

| Frankly, this really just seems like black midi without any of the inventive or fresh parts. Where I can respect black midi for innovation, Yard Act does nothing new, taking the narration of modern post-punk down a very bland path. |
